The most unpretentious and beautiful perennials - photos and names
Flowers and many summer plants for a small care garden - names and description
CRITERIA OF UNAUTHABILITY OF PERENNIAL PLANTS FOR EACH GARDEN OF ITS OWN. FOR ONE, IT IS WINTER RESISTANCE OR RESISTANCE TO THE WEATHER, AND FOR OTHERS, TOTAL LACK OF CARE OR INDEPENDENT REPRODUCTION
To an unpretentious group we will only refer perennials, and annuals, biennials and juveniles leave behind.
Still, in the aggregate, they care more. The remaining plants are immediately divided into wintering in the area with shelter - and without it. Not wintering species can be considered only as annuals - they, too, are marked aside. If everything is clear with winter hardiness, then complex withdrawal is an elongated concept. At the end of autumn or early spring, the ground part of many perennials is cut off. Should we consider this method a difficult departure?
If you have sharp garden scissors and a secateur, then on a sunny day, such an occupation will be a pleasure.
The undemanding nature of watering in irrigation is conditional, drought, and these plants should be watered; of course, they are more stable and are unlikely to die, but the recovery period can be long. Low resistance to bad weather is manifested in the form of broken bells of the glacial, broken by the wind or hammered into the dirt, punched by even a small hail of tender leaves, the hosts, washed away by rain from the petals of the daylilies. In rainy weather, flowers as well as buds of carnation can be bent, and in the hot many plants (peonies, primroses) shorten the flowering period.
Early spring types in the event of prolonged heat and snow cover may not at all blossom. Of course, you can tie the stems, off the snow with snow and make the heat-affected bushes. The only question is the willingness to spend time and effort on these manipulations.
Another thing is when it comes to soil composition. Here it is impossible not to observe the preferences of plants. After all, even “eternal” stonecrops grow without decay, exclusively in dry, elevated places. However, there are two options - either to select plants to the existing soil conditions, or to improve the soil substrate and expand the range to your favorite species. The same goes for the degree of illumination of the proposed landing site. Moreover, even the most resistant to those plants can not live in the dense shadow that the walls of buildings form - albeit rare, but the rays of light should still be. The sunny side is simpler: here, as an easy shade for shade-loving plants, you can use tall bushes or trellised trellises.
FOR THE NOTICE
In the small care garden, numerous food additives can be avoided. To do this, in spring and autumn, make composted soil in flower beds. You can add humus to it with dry mineral fertilizers. Such mulching for unpretentious plants is quite enough.
Experienced practice gardeners understand the importance of plant resistance to pests and diseases. Sometimes it is easier to part with the grown-up culture, than annually master all the new methods of struggle. So, if in your area snails and slugs are ordinary and numerous inhabitants of gardens, then brunner, buzulniki and kaluzhnitsa is not for you.
The hosts will also be questioned: their leaves are also included in the diet of shellfish; However, with a small number of pests, hybrids with fleshy leaves are quite viable. The dominance of a penny slobbery will not give a normal blossom to bells and carnations. Phloxes are strongly susceptible to nematodes and powdery mildew. The latter during the damp summer actively covers with white coating even the unbreakable zhivichku.

Most beginner gardeners like the rapid growth of cultural species, bordering on the weed effect. Indeed, poor soil and a complete lack of skills of growing something and, as a consequence, endless losses of acquired curiosities, anyone will bring to depression.
Therefore wildly multiplying copies please their owners. In such areas, you can find thickets of variegated snyti, lily of the valley larch, chasusha plantain, or a viable worm spread throughout the territory. If later plans change and want more ordered landings, getting rid of such friends will not be easy. Therefore, with the acquisition of experience in the list of mandatory items in the selection of plants should include controlled growth.
Not the very first, but the most popular requirement remains decorativeness. Therefore, there are many unpretentious plants, and favorite ones can be counted on the fingers. And here everyone has his own predilections. Some people like inflorescences with candles or panicles, since they do not turn their backs to their neighbor due to the fact that there are more suns there. Another favorite is fragrant plants.
Still others prefer bright colors, which can accent attention. But the most demanding people want everything at once. Of course, the more requirements, the less suitable species will be. Nevertheless, there are excellent wintering unpretentious plants, which are liked by almost everyone.
For easy penumbra
It is difficult to imagine a garden in which astilba would not be found. They are extremely rarely accented, almost always giving first places to more effective representatives of the flora. The name of the genus Astilbe (Astilbe) consists of the Greek words "very" and "brilliance". Surprisingly, it is not given for the luminous sunlight in the paniculate inflorescence, but for the glossy luster of the leaves that are decorative throughout the season. New varieties have tricolor ('Color Flash Super') gold ('Color Flash Lime') or violet-brownish ('Chocolate Shogun') leaf blades. Flowers in Astilbe are very small, collected in a paniculate inflorescence of pyramidal, rhombic or paniculate form.
Inflorescence may be drooping ('Straussenfeder', 'Professor van der Wielen').
Success is enjoyed by varieties that form dense low bushes and thick, wind-resistant inflorescences: 'Boogie Woogie', 'Rhylhm and Blues', 'Country and Western'. Coloring flowers often contrasts with purple stems ('Rock and Roll') or complemented by a decorative dark ('Vision in Red'), with bronze casting foliage ('Bronze Elegans').
Mass bloom of astilbe falls on July, but some varieties bloom in late June ('Mont Blanc'), Others only open in August ('Pumila').
Height of plants from 30 cm to 1,5 m. Acquired or separated from the mother's bush, the astilbya is planted immediately on a permanent place. Division and transplantation is best done in early spring or autumn. Astilba develops better on fertile soil with sufficient moisture.
For fans of castling in compositions with the addition of novelties, communication is especially important. In this case, the existing personnel should perfectly match both with each other, and with the possible inclusion of fresh accents. As a rule, this group does not include so many plants, but they set the tone, creating a unique image of the compositions.
Aruncus auterus (Aruncus aethusifolius) quite often confused with astilba. Indeed, he is more like her than his usual relative-giant: a low plant, not exceeding 25 cm in height, compact in shape, with paniculate white inflorescences.
Leaves after blossoming acquire an original red-scarlet-colored color that allows to take a strange place in any garden. Blossoms aruncus very long from late May to July. Reproduction and conditions for development are the same as those of astilba.
3. Similar conditions for development are necessary for the inhabitant of the marshes of the middle zone of Russia - a water-gathering basilist (Thalictrum aquilegifolium), which forms friable Column-shaped bushes 80-130 in height. See the openwork leaves, reminiscent of the catchment leaves (hence the species epithet), decorate the garden until late autumn, pleasing in September-October with a yellowish tinge. The flowers are small, pink, mauve, yellow or white, collected in large and loose corymbose panicles. In culture it forms more powerful shrubs with chic clouds-inflorescences.
In the variety Thundercloud leaves are gray, and inflorescences of a rich purple hue. Blossoms in June-July. It has a very pleasant aroma, excellent honey. It reproduces by dividing bushes, cuttings, pruning of rhizomes and seeds that are sown under winter in the year of collection. Harmoniously combined with ferns, grasses, daylilies, cuffs.
Miniature primrose Julia (Primula juliae) sensitive to loose soils without stagnation of moisture. This stucco plant, about 10 cm in height, forms dense scallops from small leaves. The bushes grow rapidly, but they always have a compact shape. Blossom the end of April. Its numerous flowers (up to 3 cm in diameter) tower above the leaves. In August, it is possible to re-flowering with single flowers.
In the natural form, flowers are lilac-pink with a yellow center, in varietal plants a crimson-red color. In principle, the primrose is light-loving, but with light shading blooms longer and does not burn out. It reproduces by dividing the bush immediately after flowering or in autumn, leaf cuttings, seeds. Excellent transfer transplant, even in a flowering form.

Hosta Siebold (Hosta sieboldiana) 'Elegans' - one of the few plants that, despite the decorative color of the leaves, feels better in the penumbra. This powerful herbaceous perennial with a height of up to 60 cm has a beautiful rosette of dense large bluish-green with a bluish coating of leaves.
They are less vulnerable to slug and snail attacks than others. White with a purple hue funnel-prominent flowers collected in a short dense brush. During the extension of the peduncles in June-July, they are recommended to be removed to preserve a dense bush, but this variety has powerful peduncles and large enough beautiful flowers that can even be used as a cut.
And the bush after flowering does not look broken up. The soil needs fertile, weakly acidic, with sufficient moisture. It reproduces by dividing the bush in spring and green cuttings during the summer. This is an ideal plant for pinpointing on the corners of garden paths and landing in curbs with other hosts.
For solar areas
Chrysanthemums are plants with a tart sagebrush aroma, attractive not only by the late turbulent flowering, but also by the resistance to the vicissitudes of capricious autumn weather. We look at them with admiration and are ready to be deceived every year at flower exhibitions, buying not wintering, but such chic southern views! Selflessly to withstand frosts up to -5 ° C, morning frosts with icy dew, long rainy days, followed by hurricane winds and winter frosts, is only capable of Chrysanthemum Korean (Chrysanthemum x koreanum).
The name unites numerous varieties of hybrid origin 40 in height - 70 cm. Depending on the type of inflorescence, the baskets are double, semi-double and simple. Early varieties bloom in July, late in the favorable weather bloom until November. There are chrysanthemums with lilac, white, red, ocher and lemon-golden flowers.
The plant prefers light nutrient, calcareous, well-drained soils. It does not tolerate excessive moisture, easily vypryvaet under cover. Therefore, it is important to select varieties that are stable in this band and winter without shelter: 'Oak', 'Korean woman', 'Lelia', 'Malchish-Kibalchish', 'Autumn motif', 'Chamomile', 'Lilac fog', 'Sunflower', ' Everest'. Propagated by dividing the bush in the spring and green cuttings in the summer.
Great giant bastard purple (Eupatorium purpureum) It is famous for its huge corymb-like inflorescences, which look airy thanks to numerous nectariferous flowers collected in baskets. Achieves in height 150 - 200 cm, but low-grade varieties with a saturated color of inflorescences are appreciated: wine-pink 'Little Red', pink 'Little Joe'. Blooms in late July - August. After the rain, strong stems slope to the ground, but do not break.
For the normal development of the bark, deep, well-cultivated, fertile soils with sufficient moisture are needed, since it tolerates drought badly. And also - quite a quiet place, so that the garters of the stems were not required. In one place 5 can grow - 6 years. It multiplies by dividing bushes in spring, seeds, occasionally by cuttings. Perfectly looks in living hedges and in the background of flower beds, among shrubs, for example, the variegated forms of a white dene.
Contrary to the established opinion of capriciousness peony of milky-flowering (Paeonia lactiflora), this is actually an unpretentious plant, the main thing is to choose a weather-resistant variety. The main problem in the peony is the large double flowers that collect moisture after rain, which makes them too heavy for the stems.
Accordingly, it requires a support that spoils the species, and inflorescences do not always completely leave the water without a trace. The position will save the variety with semi-double or simple flowers, for example blooming in June White Wings with simple large white flowers with corrugated petals and yellow stamens. For the successful growth of the pion, fertile, loamy, moderately moist, with good drainage, is necessary. Propagate it by dividing the bush in August. The variety goes well with white tulips, variegated grasses and shrubs.
The enchanting violet fragrance, intensified by the windless evenings, gives flowers daylily lemon yellowHemerocallis citrina). Narrow, visibly curved drooping leaves of length 80 - 85 cm create a dense bush. Blossoms in July-August. The flowers are lemon-yellow, 10-15 in length, half-open, sitting on high strong stems about 1 m in height. Withered flowers turn into narrow tubes that themselves fall to the ground, without requiring removal to preserve the ornamentation of the bush.
It grows on any garden nutrient soils. It reproduces by dividing bushes in spring or early autumn. When planting in small flower gardens, it should take into account its ability to form large, highly expanding cusps. This is a beautiful curb plant that gives beautiful combinations with green and variegated forms of clearing the prominent and hydrangea paniculate.
Reliable, sustainable in culture Irises sibirica (Iris sibirica) actively acquire new varieties, which contributes to a surge in the popularity of this culture. Strong bare stems are not afraid of strong winds and showers. Small flowers are good in curtains, when their number exceeds a couple of dozen.
Gurgling looks dark-blue 'Caesar 's Brother ”, 'Band of Angels', re-flowering 'Coronation Anthem '. It looks interesting dark crimson with purple Crimson Cloisonne, also terry novelties: multi-colored 'Oriental Carpet ', golden with white Dance and Sing, dark purple Double Standard.

The greatest decorativeness and. Siberian reaches on fertile soils with well-retaining moisture with a neutral or slightly acid reaction. Therefore, the bushes are often planted on the unsinkable banks of water bodies.
The growth rate of curtains depends on the variety, there are very slowly growing ones - and specimens that fill up a couple of square meters in a few years. Iris propagates by dividing bushes from mid-August to the end of October. When planting, the rhizomes are buried by 4-5 cm and the planting site is mulched.
Growing perennials - planting and care: reviews, tips and tricks
It's hard for me to engage in annuals, so I decided to plant decorative shrubs in the garden and high flowering herbaceous perennials. What plants can we grow in Mordovia? Especially interesting to me are such plants as action, veygel, deren and calisthegy.
Valentina Nezvanova, Republic of Mordovia
The list of ornamental plants that can be grown in your republic is very large. Therefore, I will only tell you about the cultures that interest you.
In the genus Act includes about 70 species native to East and South Asia. This deciduous shrubs with brushes of white and pink flowers. In the middle lane in winter, they all freeze to some extent, except for the action of the Amur. On the territory of Russia it makes sense to grow an elegant action, a dense, rough, etc. Lemoinea. It is very important to preserve the old shoots of the action, since flowering occurs on the last year's shoots. At a temperature of -25 ° C, a part of the branches freezes, and at -30 ° C and below their death is guaranteed above the level of the snow cover, so for the winter the branches should be bent, sprinkled with dry leaves, and then with snow. High bushes are covered with sackcloth or nonwoven material. Plant the action in sheltered from cold winds. To ensure that the wood has matured well by the beginning of the cold, the bushes cease to water in August.
Race wagel includes 15 species native to East Asia. These are shrubs with large bell-shaped flowers of white, cream, yellow, pink and red color. Varieties of the Weigel hybrid poorly winter in the middle zone of Russia, from the fairly stable one can be called 'Rosea'and'Styriaca'. Weigel early does not practically freeze, c. Middendorf, in. pleasant and in. blossoming frosts slightly. Like the action, it is important to keep the old branches, because it is on them that flower buds are located. Therefore, the bushes for the winter are bent to the ground and covered with lapnika, in the spring they remove the frozen parts of the shoots. Adult bushes for the winter are tied to protect them from snow.
In the genus turf about 40 species. In the middle belt, the following species can be grown: fragrant turf, dorsal, bloody red, dwarfed, dense, wrinkled, silky, white. Most of them have original varieties, for example,Variegata'the turf of white leaves with a white border, y'Spaethii'- with a wide yellow border, the variety'aura'The leaves are yellow, in the variety'Winter BeautyThe turf blood-red autumn leaves get a purple color. In the leafless state, the sod is distinguished by a bright red or yellow colouration. Deren men, or dogwood, gives edible fruits. These species are unpretentious, winter-hardy, rapidly growing. In order for the bushes to look neat, annual pruning of two-three-year branches at an altitude of 10-15 is required.
Calisthea - Herbaceous perennial liana. In the temperate zone, a large fence is widespread. This is a malicious weed, which is difficult to get rid of (it multiplies by root offspring and seeds). Although its flowers, gramophones with a diameter of up to 6 cm are notable for their beauty. Calisthia fluffy reaches a height of 4 m, propagates only vegetatively, transplant is poor. The most famous variety is 'Flore Plena' with large double pale pink flowers. Requires easy shelter only in severe winters with little snow. To the roots of the cystegeia do not spread all over the site, they are limited (for example, they dig an old bucket of the abyss into the ground). Liane needs a strong support.

Last year in the flower garden noticed a lot of pests and diseases? Then, be sure to process perennials before flowering. Contact fungicides and insecticides (Azofos, Polyazofos, Meksode, Karate) are less dangerous, but they do not absorb into plant cells, so their protective effect disappears after the rain.
Systemic drugs "work" 3-4 weeks. The most effective against powdery mildew, patchiness, rust, gray rot Scor, Rake, Spirit, Racurs (according to instructions). Insecticides Tanrek, Aktara, Confidor, Gold Sparkler, Commander, Fufanon will cope with pests (aphids, tripes, scabbards, leaf beetles, flowerheads, caterpillars).
The treatment can be combined: in a spray tank filled with water, alternately add fungicide, and then insecticide, mixing. Process flowers in a dry warm (not below + 14 degrees) weather (preferably in the morning or evening).

Such perennials as primula, daisy, violet, forget-me-not, in spring sometimes suffer from bulging (when plants rise above the soil level and their roots are exposed).
If you notice a similar pattern in your flower garden, sprinkle earth on the bush or cover the roots with peat, humus.
